Artist's Reception Friday Night

This Exhibit features the combined works of UNH Fine Arts graduates Jason Bombaci and Kathi Smith. This show opens Friday evening March 27th with an artist's reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at Ampers& Gallery/Studio in Newmarket across the street from the post office. The exhibit will run through April 16th.

While participating in a combination studio art/art history course through the university, Bombaci & Smith travelled to Italy during the spring of 2008. There, they visited the Roman ruins and studied the masters’ works in Florence, Venice and Rome; then moved on to the ancient city of Ascoli Piceno to paint its graffiti-covered walls and sun-drenched hillsides.

Bella Vita, a collection of their works painted in Ascoli Piceno, runs through April 16 and, in addition to the opening night event, is open to the public Tuesday through Thursday afternoons, from 2-6 PM each day.

The gallery will also be open to the public during Newmarket’s third annual Great Bay Half Marathon, on Sat & Sun, April 4 & 5, from 1-4 PM each day. Free Mimosas and Pastries will be offered —while they last—to all visitors.
